Flamingoes are, to me, the most fabulous creatures ever. I have more flamingo stuffed animals and plastic lawn ornaments than one human being should. It’s about time they made it to the CO world! This just made my day :)

When I sit and simply think about the diversity of life….how many different and strange creatures there are….and how can something like this, or a manatee, or a rhino, or a giraffe exist…well, peeps, it makes my mind go *poit*.

I just saw flamingos at the Bermuda Aquarium in June. They were so bizarre and hilarious; I watched them, mezmerized, for, like, a whole hour. They looked like a bunch of gangly blushing supermodels. And they make the funniest noise: halfway between a goose and a parrot. Keep rockin’ the pink, little buddies!

Morgan, my mother would challenge you for that title, down to her flamingo cutting board and flamingo-decorated-within-an-inch-of-its-proverbial-life-bathroom! LOL I’ve honestly never seen a baby flamingo before, so cute and fuzzly!

I’ve been sitting here all this time, trying to figure out what it was about that bebeh flammie that seemed so familiar…and I just realized what it is! My husband’s favorite blankie is covered with fuzz just like that adorable rebar-legged cutie-pie. I think the fabric is called “Vellux” or something like that. So every time I look at that bebeh, I think of my hubby snoring away contentedly, wrapped in the same kind of fuzzy softness…*LOL*

Meg, your captions never fail to dissolve me into fits of giggles, especially when I’m by myself and feel utterly silly with no one but my dog to share my mirth. Rebar-legged parental unit. Redic. HI-larious. You made my day.
